Fischamend Dorf: Fischaturm, Quirinus Church and Kleine Au

Fischamend lies at the confluence of the Fischa and Danube rivers. Local highlights include the local history museum in the medieval Fischaturm, Quirinus Church, a walking tour with audio stories and Kleine Au in the town centre. If you are looking for a hotel in Fischamend Dorf, these themes can help you plan your choice of location: they range from local history and architecture to exercise and nature.

Local History Museum in Fischaturm

The Fischamend Local History Museum is housed in the medieval Fischaturm and presents the history of Fischamend across six floors. One special exhibit is the hand-crafted tower clock dating from 1834. It is one of Austria’s oldest clocks still in operation. The combination of its year of construction and continued operation brings this particular piece of history to life.

Quirinus Church: Early Origins and Gothic Architecture

Quirinus Church dates back to a church from the 11th century; a large Gothic replacement was built on the site before 1400. The ground plan and the exterior masonry with its buttresses, extending up to the roof, remain from the Gothic church. Buttresses are supporting elements attached to the outside; their extension up to the roof can be traced along the surviving exterior wall. The progression from early origins to the Gothic replacement gives the church a clear historical arc. Musical events are also held here from time to time, in addition to church services. If you specifically want to enjoy music, check the event schedule in advance.

Walking Tour and Historic Buildings

The Fischamend walking tour is accompanied by eight audio stories. If you prefer to take in local history while on the move rather than in an exhibition, the audio guide offers a different approach from the local history museum. The app and its content may be updated, so check the latest information before setting out. The water tower, built in 1916, is one of Fischamend’s historic buildings and can be visited. Alongside the medieval Fischaturm and its 1834 tower clock, it marks another point in the town’s history: 1916 falls in the early 20th century.

Kleine Au and the Römerland-Carnuntum Cycling Tour

Kleine Au is a natural paradise in the heart of Fischamend’s town centre. As a local highlight, this natural landscape differs from Fischamend’s location at the confluence of the Fischa and Danube: one description refers to the town centre, the other to Fischamend’s location. For cyclists, the Fischamend variant of the Römerland-Carnuntum cycling tour passes through Fischamend and then follows the Danube to Maria Ellend, Haslau and Wildungsmauer. This sequence helps you follow the route section by section: the stretch through Fischamend is followed by the section along the Danube. Surface conditions may vary; check them before your ride to plan accordingly.

Playgrounds with Specific Addresses

If playgrounds are a factor in choosing where to stay, you can note the town’s locations and addresses: Sportfisch is at Enzersdorfer Straße 18, and Abenteuerfisch is at Rösslgasse 14.
